If you have any doubts that the phenomenon of Donald Trump was a long time a’coming, you have only to read a piece that Gore Vidal wrote for Esquire magazine in July 1961, when the conservative movement was just beginning and even Barry Goldwater was hardly a glint in Republicans’ eyes.

Vidal’s target was Paul Ryan’s idol, and the idol of so many modern conservatives: the trash novelist and crackpot philosopher Ayn Rand, whom Vidal quotes thusly:

“It was the morality of altruism that undercut America and is now destroying her.

“Capitalism and altruism are incompatible; they are philosophical opposites; they cannot co-exist in the same man or in the same society. Today, the conflict has reached its ultimate climax; the choice is clear-cut: either a new morality of rational self-interest, with its consequence of freedom… or the primordial morality of altruism with its consequences of slavery, etc.

“To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men.

“The creed of sacrifice is a morality for the immoral…”

In most quarters, in 1961, this stuff would have been regarded as nearly sociopathic nonsense, but, as Vidal noted, Rand was already gaining adherents: “She has a great attraction for simple people who are puzzled by organized society, who object to paying taxes, who hate the ‘welfare state,’ who feel guilt at the thought of the suffering of others but who would like to harden their hearts.”

Because he was writing at a time when there was still such a thing as right-wing guilt, Vidal couldn’t possibly have foreseen what would happen: Ayn Rand became the guiding spirit of the governing party of the United States. Her values are the values of that party. Vidal couldn’t have foreseen it because he still saw Christianity as a kind of ineluctable force in America, particularly among small-town conservatives, and because Rand’s “philosophy” couldn’t have been more anti-Christian. But, then, Vidal couldn’t have thought so many Christians would abandon Jesus’ teachings so quickly for Rand’s. Hearts hardened.

The transformation and corruption of America’s moral values didn’t happen in the shadows. It happened in plain sight. The Republican Party has been the party of selfishness and the party of punishment for decades now, trashing the basic precepts not only of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but also of humanity generally.

Vidal again: “That it is right to help someone less fortunate is an idea that has figured in most systems of conduct since the beginning of the race.” It is, one could argue, what makes us human. The opposing idea, Rand’s idea, that the less fortunate should be left to suffer, is what endangers our humanity now. I have previously written in this space how conservatism dismantled the concept of truth so it could fill the void with untruth. I called it an epistemological revolution. But conservatism also has dismantled traditional morality so it could fill that void. I call that a moral revolution.

To identify what’s wrong with conservatism and Republicanism — and now with so much of America as we are about to enter the Trump era — you don’t need high-blown theories or deep sociological analysis or surveys. The answer is as simple as it is sad: There is no kindness in them.

i know so many cucks who had more of a probem with Me -- some faggot from Wisconsin -- than they ever had with a legit threat -- a queer eradicationist, a woke eradicationist, a trans eradicationist, a Ron DeSantis supporter -- like Elon Musk

they were programmed to behave this way by the U.S. Government. they even defend Musk against my attacks for the U.S. Government, who gives my tax money to Musk in massive amounts.

these sucks are so fundamentally compliant and so in need of compliance with their government

that they did exactly this right as requested

meanwhile i was subverting the hell out of the government and the red pill -- something they have never done, as compliant pro-government pro-America assholes

asshole who only preach Ronald Reagan government, also known as 'some white asshole preaching of freedom while acting as authoritarian as he feels like and pushing minorities to the fringe'

and i will never stop dismantling a murderous, authoritarian suck shit asshole white supremacist 'David Lynch will wipe every black off the planet' batch of insensate, idiotic marshmallow zombies.

a suck shit, entitled, Christopher Columbus mentality that fears more than anything being asked to be nice -- because they cannot create or work, they can only colonise and whiten up and snatch --

and make no mistake -- they're fundamentally lazy and fundamentally weak and fundamentally will never choose freedom -- which is why they constantly preach motivation, strength and freedom... but they'll never find it.

they can be 'free' of me all they want -- i could give a rat's ass -- but they'll never be free of Trump or Musk and all the forces that control their weak selves, and no 'revenge' -- if i could ever even find it in myself to want such things -- could ever be as sweet as what they impale their own lives upon as they disembowl any guts they might have had if they had chosen courage instead of

convenience

and choosing convenience has been America's fatal error, primarily, for 50 years now -- I'd argue so -- but maybe it's something else.

hello, I hope you’re having a great day.

this is an odd request but I was wondering if you could explain why you can’t be racist towards white people?

I already know you can’t be racist towards white people but I was wondering if you could give an explanation as to why you can’t because I always assumed it was because they created racism and that they’re the standard, but I want to make sure that im correct or not so if I ever have a discussion about it with someone, then I won’t look like I don’t know what I’m talking about, if that makes sense.

ofc ofc! Glad to explain sweetie

so, we already know that’s racism was predominantly created/popularized by white people, that much is alr clear. The reason you can’t be racist to white people is perspective.

Ok, let’s say all jobs are cut out for you. Schools, jobs, work environments, especially in big positions like politics, science, or the medical industry. Nobody will ever deny you of an opportunity because you are white, everything is already made for you. YOU are the cookie cutter.

on the other hand, you can be denied all of these jobs AND MORE. Healthcare, financial stability, and even your life solely because you are a person of color. Specifically, a black person of color. Nothing in your life is guaranteed to go right ever unless you’re feeding into a stereotype. E.g selling drugs, making music, being a jailbird, etc etc.

it’s impossible to oppress/be racist towards white people because everything in the world is already theirs. There’s nothing we can ever do to take that away either. Prejudice, yes. But never ever racist.

Kids Dancing on Alan Freed's The Big Beat (1959)

This clip of teenagers dancing on Alan Freed's The Big Beat is a groundbreaking moment. The reason? Although Rock N Roll caused division socially and musically, the racial aspect is where it truly lives, since black and white kids couldn't dance together. I have come across this video several times, and trust me, it was a beautiful sight to see.

The Emotional Turmoil of White Racists versus The Early Deaths of Black Folks

When you put the whining white grievance of white privilege being violated side-by-side with the actual damage that systemic racism does to Black people, i.e. driving them to an early grave, #sciencefact

This week’s news juxtaposed two interesting stories that cast our structural racism in the spotlight and in stark relief contrasting the woes of being a white openly racist man in America with being an average Black person living in white culture. Let’s present the emotional turmoil news first and then move on to the effect of racism on Black folks. Pity the White Racist Meme: Epitome of White…

I must've struck a chord with somebody up in the office, 'Cause Congress keep tellin' me I ain't causin' nothin' but problems. And now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government; I'm lovin' it, I shoveled shit all my life, and now I'm dumpin' it on.

When they say East Harlem…..Harlem was never East Harlem, Harlem was Harlem. When the blacks started to come towards this area,in order for us to explain where we lived… we said we live in East Harlem, that’s where the name East came into being, to separate the white and the black.

When will it be?

I thought this was the land of the free and home of the brave,

Not the land of the racist and home of the homophobes

How can so many POC call this land home but Uncle Sam only caters to the white man,

We will not be lead into the waters of discrimination and false information like a lamb,

So Fuck Uncle Sam!

— Emmah L.
